Except, no, I wouldn't, because who the gently caress uses TVGuide as opposed to setting up their PVR for recording?

Things like soybean exports dropped by 90% after the trade war.

Also the Trump subsidy was something like only a few cents of the total loss for each bushel for things like corn.

A hearty lol for America�s heartland:

GM's Chevy Volt, and Donald Trump, failed to save Midwest

quote:

General Motors announced plans to close three assembly plants, one each in Michigan, Ohio and Ontario before the end of 2019.

I can't stop thinking about the launch of the Chevrolet Volt.

That car was my life for months. I covered post-bankruptcy General Motors for the Detroit Free Press � chronicling one company all day, every day. Sometimes all night. That's how important GM was to our city.

In December 2010, I traveled to snowy New Jersey to watch a real estate agent buy the first Volt. The people I met along the way were effusive in their expectations for the car.

"Futuristic."

"Comeback kid."

"A signal."

"The premier car for General Motors."

The Volt, an electric car with a backup engine for long trips, was supposed to revitalize GM. Show the world Detroit could create revolutionary technology, compete with Asian automakers, produce something besides gas-guzzling SUVs. Prove the government-backed bailout had been worth it.

In many ways, the Volt also was supposed to save Detroit. The company's last plant within the Motor City's limits would build the vehicle.

America's most storied manufacturer would use American workers to build a new kind of American vehicle.

That dream is over now, likely for good.

'Bring back jobs'

On Monday, GM kicked off plans to close five plants, including the Detroit factory that built the Chevy Volt and the Ohio factory that built the Chevy Cruze compact car. It will kill those cars, and a few others, after the assembly lines shut down. Thousands of American workers are likely to lose their jobs, from the factories that are closing and from the parts suppliers, transportation workers and the like whose jobs support the assembly plants.

We know what that's like in this country. We've seen it before.

Just ask the American workers who voted for President Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Or take my word for it: I asked them myself, over and over, as a political reporter covering Ohio during that campaign.

Trump promised to bring back jobs when no one else was willing to. He acted like the economy was struggling when other politicians (and fact-checking journalists, including this one) touted the low unemployment rate. More than that, he understood the despair workers felt when their new job didn't pay like their old one. The fear they felt when they thought of starting over in their 60s.

Trump won Michigan thanks in part to those workers. He won Ohio by a landslide for much the same reason. Trumbull County, Ohio, has voted Democratic in almost every election since 1928. In 2016, the county backed Trump.

And now Trumbull County is losing its auto plant.

That's a problem for Trump. For now, he's channeling anger, the kind of anger workers connected with in 2016.

"They better drat well open a new plant there very quickly,� Trump told The Wall Street Journal on Monday, referencing the Lordstown, Ohio, factory closure. "I told them, 'You�re playing around with the wrong person.' "

What will happen when the workers are out of a job?

Missed targets and a new electric car

In the end, Americans didn't want small cars. Or, as gas prices fell, electric cars.

When I covered GM, then-CEO Dan Akerson said he wanted the company to build more than 100,000 Chevy Volts a year. The company missed that target from the start; in private, GM employees admitted it was never realistic. Last year, U.S. sales barely cleared 20,000.

"There is no scenario under which the Volt, estimable as it may be, will make any material contribution to GM's fortunes for many years," Steven Rattner, former head of the Obama administration's auto task force, wrote in his 2010 book, "Overhaul." Even that dour prediction was too generous.

GM now has a new electric car: the Chevy Bolt, built in Detroit's northern suburbs. In some ways, it keeps alive the dream the Volt started.

The Bolt lacks the backup engine the Volt had. GM engineers thought that engine would help traditional car consumers accept an electric vehicle.

As it turned out, traditional car buyers were never going to buy a Volt, period. Plus, in the Bolt, you can drive up to 238 miles on electric power, so you're less likely to need the engine. Still, GM sold only 23,000 Bolts last year.

Innovation in the U.S. auto industry has taken a different direction, so the Lake Orion plant is scheduled to produce a self-driving car next year. Once again, GM is betting American workers can make a new kind of American car.

Wall Street analysts say GM is on the right track � and that's important for keeping the company profitable and keeping its stock at a healthy price. That's the ultimate job of CEO Mary Barra. On Monday, she embraced tough, painful cost-cutting instead of keeping historic plants and avoiding layoffs.

Prebankruptcy GM didn't change strategies fast enough or let go of beloved-but-stale ideas quickly enough. Barra wants her GM to be different. She wants it to stay around.

Redeeming history?

Longevity � preserving an American icon � has always been part of the GM turnaround. But it's more than that.

"The job is spiritual for me," GM's Mark Reuss said in early 2010, when I worked for Automotive News.

Reuss, who then ran the company's North American operations, had endured more than his share of heartache at GM. His father, former GM President Lloyd Reuss, was fired in a 1992 boardroom coup. Mark Reuss stayed with the company, only to see it continue to flounder and, finally, to require a government bailout to keep from closing in 2009.

After the automaker emerged from bankruptcy that year, Mark Reuss drove to the ruins of the Buick City factory complex in Flint with his son. Lloyd Reuss had run Buick from the complex, and Mark Reuss started his career there.

The youngest Reuss asked: �Why did this happen, Dad?�

�I finally turned to my son and said, �This happened because we could not compete,' � Reuss told his audience, choking up. �I never thought those words could come from my mouth.�

For Reuss, at least, GM's turnaround offered a chance to redeem history. To provide a livelihood for American workers, building vehicles they could be proud of. To use a company's prosperity to invest in an American city.

Perhaps we should have expected the layoffs of thousands of American workers. But that wasn't part of the plan.

Ammon Bundy, who gained fame after spearheading standoffs with federal authorities and law enforcement, is breaking with President Donald Trump over Trump�s hard-line immigration views. The dissent has earned him death threats, he said in a video posted to Facebook.

�He has basically called them all criminals and said they�re not coming in here. It seems that there�s been this group stereotype,� Bundy said of Trump�s immigration rhetoric in the video. �But what about those who have come here for reasons of need?�

lol GM called the mass layoff a "staffing transformation"

https://qz.com/work/1475097/gm-layoffs-general-motors-press-release-translated/

quote:

In a jargon-filled pressed release, General Motors today (Nov. 26) announced it is laying off 15% of its salaried workers and unallocating�err, closing�five plants in the US and Canada.

As CNN puts it, the automaker �is reinvesting money away from cars that once dominated America�s roadways and putting it into technology it believes will power its future.�

Or, as GM put it, it�s going to �strengthen its core business, capitalize on the future of personal mobility and drive significant cost efficiencies.�

The rest of the press release was similarly euphemistic. For clarity�s sake, we�ve made some edits to it.
